My Lady Who Cries the Night Away

My Lady Who Cries the Night Away

By: Adam M. Snow

 

My lady who cries the night away

dost thou not know another way?

Be ye still afraid of thy dream

'Tis varied by the Dream.

Ye be not a life so free,

my maiden my life of thee be me.

Lest beknownst thy drowning fear

that hangs before her all the year.

 

Besought the light that now grows dim,

hope for once the love of him.

Thy cherish thy love be it not true

like the tears she shed twinkling blue.

 

Lest thy heart burdened be

lest she glimpse eternity.

My lady who cries the night away

dost thou not know another way?

 

O' ye be a wakeful woe

glimpse of life, love bestow.

O'er thy morning dove doesth not sing?

My lady, she cries for her fallen king.

This reminds me strongly of a shakesperian play that my class once read. I can't remember which one it was though. It might have been Romeo and Juilet or Much Ado About Nothing, I can't remember. Very nice write, I like oldpoems. Very good old English used and wonderful use of repepition. I enjoy reading your poetry. In fact, I enjoy read everyone's poems on here. It's clear that you were all taught well. Good job!

I love this... you speak this so nicely. Love this part:
"Thy cherish thy love be it not true
like the tears she shed twinkling blue."

[Kenneth The Poet]

Reminds me of a song by Iron & Wine. Nice work.

I loved the way of the old day talk and the way everything was worded with descriptions of its own. It was a good poem well done.

[T.W. Early]

This is a beautiful poem! I really enjoyed it!

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful poem. Your words create a vision of a woman with tears and great sadness. I like the description and the very good ending to the excellent poem.

Beautiful. You cleared everything up by the last line. Now I know why she's crying. :) AWESOME JOB (Still Edgar Allan Poe-ish, but that's awesome. :)
